David Lynch (20 January 1946–16 January 2025)
The US filmmaker has died aged 78. As a tribute, we have made the extended cover feature that appeared in The Wire 486 - for which Lynch also designed the cover - free to read in our online library.

Za @Kulturpunkt, pišem o 2024. kroz prizmu nepristojnih, angažiranih i odrješitih glazbenica i albuma: od brutalnog metala do suptilne ambijentale.
Ft. @PTPvisions, @RedHotOrg & more. Od "naših", slava pripada Zvezdama grajnda, Kijametu i Manji Ristić.

Simply the best metal EOY chart around.

=== BEST METAL OF 2024 ==
My annual descent into the underworld of list-making and just barely making it back is, well, back. Not a perfect list, but perfectly my list. Hope you enjoy, and keep safe wherever you may be.

Our MALCONFORT release gets the #2 spot on PopMatters’ best albums of the year list! It’s reassuring to see experimental music of this kind to get such high honour!
► “While dissonance is one pillar, the other two foundations are ambiance and psychedelia”
